On the last day of the week, a knock on the door interrupted Gu Xiaobai's cultivation, and he withdrew the cyclone around him and got up to open the door.

Long Xiangyu stood at the door prettyly, she was wearing a white dress decorated with a pale pink bow, a pair of white stockings wrapped around her legs, and her delicate and fair skin, like an elf falling from the sky, pure and lovely.

"Well, here's for you. Long Xiangyu stretched out her hand and handed out a ticket, looked at Gu Xiaobai in a daze, blinked, and then got into it sideways.

"Phew, I haven't been here for a few days, look what has become of here. Long Xiangyu puffed out his mouth and lectured, and there was no ambiguity under his hands, and he began to clean up in an orderly manner.

"It's nothing, I've been used to it for a long time. Gu Xiaobai scratched his head in embarrassment, the room was indeed a little messy, and even a pair of black underwear was thrown at random on the sofa.

Long Xiangyu cleaned up everywhere without care, and after finishing her work, she sat on the sofa and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Whew, it looks so much better now. ”

After Long Xiangyu finished speaking, she turned her head and found Gu Xiaobai in the kitchen, she curiously probed in, wanting to see what he was doing.

"You're cooking?"

"Well, everything has been bought in advance, I just want to have a meal with you the day before I leave, just wait a minute, I cook very fast." Gu Xiaobai simply took the Ling Feng Blade and began to chop vegetables, the shadow of the knife flew, and pieces of vegetables were cut into regular shapes.

"That knife is not simple, you actually used it to chop vegetables!" Long Xiangyu exclaimed.

"No matter how powerful it is, it's also a knife, isn't it just right to cut vegetables?"

Long Xiangyu thought about it, and what he said seemed to be right.

After a while, the dining table was already full, Long Xiangyu looked at the plate on the table in amazement, and asked, "What is this?"

The dishes on the plate were arranged very casually, all the dishes were raw, just a few seasonings were simply put in, and it didn't look as tempting as the vegetable salad, but this can't be blamed on Gu Xiaobai, this eating habit has lasted for five years, and he has almost forgotten how to make the original Chinese meal.

"I've been eating like this, I don't know if you'll like it. ”

Long Xiangyu picked up the chopsticks, took a slice and put it in her mouth, and in an instant, a strong sense of stimulation filled her mouth, she forcibly began to chew, and finally swallowed.

"Well, it's delicious!" Long Xiangyu had already decided in his heart that he must learn to cook well, and let him eat normal meals in the future, such things can be eaten for five years, and he must have suffered a lot of grievances.

After eating, Long Xiangyu left, and she promised to go to the airport the next day to deliver it.

The next day, Gu Xiaobai packed his luggage, took out a large stack of cash and put it in his bag, and then took a taxi to the airport.

Soon, he saw Long Xiangyu's figure at the airport, apparently she had come early and had been waiting here for a while.

It was already announced on the radio that it was time to board the plane, Gu Xiaobai got up and was about to say goodbye to Long Xiangyu, but was tightly grasped by Long Xiangyu's right hand. A cold hard object appeared in the palm of his hand, Gu Xiaobai looked down, and it turned out to be a jade pendant, with a dragon head carved on it, which was very realistic, and the dragon's eyes looked bright.

"This was given to me by my grandfather when I was very young, and he said that this jade pendant would keep me safe. Long Xiangyu's voice was as faint as a bee, and her face was full of reluctance.

"It's not good, it's your grandfather who gave you ......"

Long Xiangyu suddenly smiled, "It's okay, because I have something more important than it." As she spoke, she took out the birthday gift that Gu Xiaobai had given her earlier, the dagger made of shells.

"It was the words you said on my birthday that made me understand so much, and it was the baby that gave me hope for the future again. After Long Xiangyu finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe and imprinted it on Gu Xiaobai's lips, the touch was delicate and fleeting.

Gu Xiaobai was taken aback by her actions, and hurriedly coughed a few times to hide the embarrassing atmosphere.

"That'...... I'll go first. The two waved goodbye, and Long Xiangyu's pretty face turned out to be farther and farther away, until they couldn't see it at all.

Gu Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes, he felt a slight change in the airflow, it seemed that the plane was already descending, looking down through the window, the whole land was a uniform yellow-brown color, near the skyline, even the yellow sand could already be seen, there was the western desert that Long Zhanqian said, through the desert, it was his destination.

As soon as he stepped off the plane, Gu Xiaobai felt the sand flying all over the sky, and the dry air and breeze caused the place to be filled with sand all year round.

This city surrounded by desert is not large, there are no buildings more than ten floors, people are walking with their heads down, no one looks up to pay attention to this stranger, and the sky that should be blue is grayish yellow because of the gravel, giving people a feeling of oppression.

Gu Xiaobai walked down the street for a while and found a supermarket, where he had to buy plenty of water and food before entering the desert.

"Are you going into the desert?" asked the boss as he checked out. The boss is a middle-aged man with dark skin, because he has lived in such a place all the year round, his skin is very poor, and he looks like tree bark.

"How do you know?" Gu Xiaobai chatted while taking out the money.

"Your backpack, come in and buy water and food, obviously, I've seen a lot of people like you. ”

"What, there are a lot of people in the desert?" Gu Xiaobai asked as he put things into his backpack. He could have put things directly into the necklace, where there was plenty of storage space, but he decided to keep a low profile and not easily reveal his identity as an Adept.

"There are too many, there are absolutely thousands of them every year, but alas, very few people make it out alive. The boss sighed and shook his head, put the banknotes handed over by Gu Xiaobai into the cabinet, and then began to rummage through the change.

"No need to look for it," Gu Xiaobai pressed his arm, "Tell me about the desert." ”

"What can it be, it's just a big piece of sand, who would go there in normal people, I really don't know what you people think. ”

"What about the people who entered the desert before, is there any news coming out?" Gu Xiaobai asked.

"You guessed it right, a few months ago a man ran out of it, but it didn't take long for him to go crazy, I heard that he was sent to a foreign country to see a doctor, and he couldn't be cured of that madness. ”

"Oh? He didn't say anything?"

"I was there, and he was rolling around with his head on the ground, and he was saying crazy things like 'the sand lives,' and I guess I couldn't stand the mental breakdown, and every year madmen came out of the desert and said all sorts of nonsense, and they all died soon after, and we were not surprised. The boss said with a frown on his face, as if he were one of those people.

After Gu Xiaobai came out of the humble supermarket, he found a corner and transferred all the things into the necklace, dressed lightly, and walked towards the edge of the city.

At the end of the house, at the edge of the desert, there is a large patch of withered yellow bushes, which are supposed to be used by people to resist the erosion of the desert, and there are large and small warning signs in the bushes that say "Do not enter the desert" and "Do not enter".

Gu Xiaobai looked into the distance, at the end of his vision, he could only see a hazy gray-yellow, he couldn't tell where the sky was and where was the earth, the desert was like a beast with a big mouth, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door by itself.

Taking a deep breath, putting on the goggles and sandproof mask, Gu Xiaobai's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and soon, his figure merged with the gray-yellow sky.

After looking down at the panel of the compass and making sure that his direction was not wrong, Gu Xiaobai continued to walk forward, at this time he was completely in the endless desert, the visibility was only a pitiful ten meters, and he couldn't see anything further away, and now he knew why the owner of the supermarket looked at him with disdain, for normal people, entering here was simply asking for hardship.

Gu Xiaobai's speed didn't dare to be too fast, because of the low visibility, he needed to leave himself enough time to react, he didn't think that those crazy people who were engaged in going out of the desert were because of psychological reasons, he vaguely felt that there was something unknown hidden in this desert.

In this way, he continued to advance for three days, Gu Xiaobai only rested for a few hours at noon, and even at night, for three days, the gray-yellow wind and sand around him still did not subside, he probably calculated, with his speed, he had advanced at least five hundred miles in three days, he had taken out his mobile phone to try to determine his location, but found that the mobile phone was useless in it, even the most ordinary phone calls could not be, let alone navigation and positioning.

Seeing that the food and water were slowly being consumed, Gu Xiaobai began to wonder if there was any edge to this desert, he counted the remaining food and water, he probably had two days left, if there was no new discovery in two days, he had to retreat strategically first and replenish more food and water than this time.

On the fifth day of entering the desert, Gu Xiaobai no longer had much hope, and depending on the situation, he would return tonight, because there were only about four days left for the remaining food, which was only enough for his own return.

Walking on the soft sand makes a "brush" sound, and it seems that it will swallow your feet at any moment, and it will take a little extra effort to find the point of focus.

"Hmm......" A strange sound made Gu Xiaobai stop, and he slowly walked over after determining the direction.

At the end of the visual range, Gu Xiaobai saw a black shadow, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a camel lost in the desert, this discovery made him feel happy, it seemed that he would not be lonely on the way back.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a long black shadow stretched out from the shadow of the camel, and Gu Xiaobai clearly saw that the camel's blood splattered out, sprinkled like a fountain, followed by the camel's wail.

Out of the instinct of the body, Gu Xiaobai buried his body, and now he doesn't know what exactly passed through the camel's body, so he can't make a rash judgment, he can only wait patiently until the camel can no longer support his body, and the black shadow falls down with a bang.

"Click, click......" The sound of hooves and palms trampling the sand sounded, and another shadow slowly became clear, Gu Xiaobai frowned, because the outline of this shadow was really strange, not only tall and beyond ordinary people, but also the proportions of the body were unusual.
